2071-3 on a12 retus fresh 100% wipe and install, have a weird issue where normally the external screen works perfectly no matter what page or activity (weather, dialing, texting, other apps in general), but when there is a notification in the tray and you try to touch or swipe or whatever to view it the screen is 100% unresponsive. you cant swipe up, down, left, right or touch the tooltip, its completely dead to touch (but displays just fine) until you open the phone and clear the notification tray. its very weird. sometimes if you swipe the screen right after turning it on you can move into another page and it works perfectly fine as normal as long as you dont try to interact with the home page, but if you go back and stay there or try to touch the noti it becomes unresponsive again.
is this a known bug? is there a fix? the only other thing i can think of is that i disabled some of the bloatware apps it came with and one of them might be responsible for the functionality? i have disabled the following, and none of them except where noted would seem like they would have any effect on this:
google assistant
astro odyssey
demo mode
device help
google duo
google files
google games
google one
google tv
moto
moto display (yes i know, i turned it back on and it didnt fix it)
moto feedback
moto notifications
youtube
yt music

Yesterday I was doing some exploring, on foot, using Google Maps on my TP2. What I would do was check Google Maps, get a satellite lock, plan the next few minutes' walking, then press the power button to put it in "sleep" mode. A few minutes later I'd repeat the procedure - take the phone out, press the power button to wake it up, go back into Google Maps, etc.
The problem was that when I put the phone in sleep mode, Google Maps was the active application, in the foreground; but when waking up again, Google Maps had been pushed into the background, and the phone was displaying the TouchFlo home tab instead. That meant that every single time I did this I had to go into the task manager and bring Google Maps back to the foreground again.
Is there a way to get the phone to automatically bring up whichever application was running when it was switched into sleep mode and not default back to the home screen?
This is one of my biggest gripes about the Touch Flo.
It just get's in the way of so many things.
Does this happen only if you manually put it into sleep mode, or does it also happen if the screen goes dark on it's own?
This is my biggest gripe. I want to stay in the application I left when the phone went into sleep mode. The funny part is the application is running for a split second right before TF default back to the home screen. Massively irritating. I like TF and all but I want to start the app I was running right when I put the phone in sleep / suspend. It's BS.
So, this explains why the phone defaults back to the home screen when I am in the middle of a call. It is not just that the phone wants to always be on the homescreen, but that the Touch Flo specifically forces its way "in front" of anything else that is running.
That gives me even more of a reason to want to upgrade from the T-Mobile ROM that my phone came with. I like Touch Flo actually but this has become so irritating that I would happily give it up so I can call my voicemail and enter passwords/delete messages without having to open the phone five times per call...

That's starting to annoy me as well.
This problem is most noticeable when watching YouTube, and I haven't toyed with too many other video apps to determine if it also happens, but while watching videos, the video will randomly pause.
Doesn't matter what brightness the phone is at, the phone isn't too warm when it happens, doesn't matter if I have headphones plugged in or not, etc. And it's not like an accidental screen touch, because touching the screen once shouldn't pause the video, just show the controls.
I've tried a full factory reset of my phone and it's still occurring. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting? It's incredibly annoying...
Edit: I should clarify this isn't pausing while buffering - this is acting like someone pressed pause mid-video - on screen controls appear, home button appears, status bar appears, and the "Play" icon to press and continue playing the video.
I have the exact same problem.
Did you manage to resolv it?
I have LG H815 SEA and i'm on stock ROM, because i can't root or install custom ROM
The same thing happens to me. I've figured it out why it happens - and it happens in all full screen apps - bottom home touch screen buttons appear together with top notifications bar for just a split second - if you look you'll see it. That causes youtube app to pause the video, and behaviours are different in other apps. It is really annoying and I haven't found a fix yet.
Same issue here with a brand new LG v20, even happens after I take the case off. No idea what could be the issue. And same with the video being fully loaded, and being on o off Wi-Fi doesn't help . Please someone give us an answer!!!!

I had this problem with a galaxy S4. Try going to Settings -> Apps -> Three dots button on top right -> Show System -> Scroll down to media storage -> Storage -> Then Clear Data.
This seemed to fix it for a while. If there is a single app your particularly have the issue with, try reinstalling that app.
I'm facing a weird issue with the Z5P touchscreen (tapping) action on the top left side of the screen panel, the usual location for the (back arrow <-) or the (Menu Icon).
1- after reboot everything works fine
2- after an hour or so, sliding (for example the facebook chat head) is detected over this area, but leaving it then tap to open is not detected, same happens with any application back arrow or menu icon, even the (back) of the settings for example.
3- in landscape mode the same area (the top left side) is not detected when tapping over, although the touchscreen panel location is changed now its at the top right, as i rotated the device clock wise
4- after reboot every thing works fine for an hour or so, then the issue is back.
tried the services test, the sliding touch is detected allover the screen, but at the (tap test) tap is not detected at box no# 1. this is weird for me as if there was a problem in the touch sensor, the problem should exist at the same location, even if i rotate the device, but it stays at the (back) arrow when the device rotates.
tried PCC software repair with no luck so far.
The Fix:
Facebook Messenger was the cause for this issue, by removing it the issue is gone immediately without even a reboot
Did you try disabling chat heads to see if it was only a chat heads problem? Because I have messenger installed and I don't have this problem.
thanks man, works like a charm

unfortunately, the issue occurred again even the chat heads was disabled
Just delete the facebook messenger app. Must be a bug. That's the only way I got my problem to go away.
I have a strange problem swiping down to see the notifications while the phone is in portrait mode and it sits on a table (not in hand) - if the phone is on landscape it works fine.
If the phone is in hand everything works ok so I don't think this is a hardware problem but when the phone sits on a table and I open up an application (e.g. Facebook, Waze, etc.), I cannot swipe from status bar to see the notifications (if I am on the launcher it works because you can swipe down from anywhere to see notifications)
I am on OxygenOS rooted with Magisk and I am having Xposed installed.
Does anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: Seems like the problem is related to Display Size setting.
Every once in awhile, my notifications pull-down won't pull down.
If I lock the phone, then unlock it, the pull-down starts working again.
It's been like this through multiple clean OS re-installs.
Am on Magisk 17.3.
I've had more software bugs on the PXL3 than any other phone before, including the PXL1.
I have the same damn problem. It just doesn't work all the time. I also had the issue of bright white screen on double tap to wake. So, I called Google Support for this, and the guy on the other said made me clear the cache of the phone app, force stop it, turn the phone off for 2 mins and then restart for both issues. I even asked him how this relates to the fingerprint sensor not detecting, he replied some stuff that, phone app controls the vibration and the display waking up.
Of course both problems does not occur for me frequently, so after that procedure I did not encounter the white screen problem, but fingerprint gestures were still kinda hit and miss. Although they work pretty good now, less miss count. For me they work when I swipe just the edge of index finger lightly, also if finger is very dry, it doesn't detect.
I tried the pulldown five times while this logcat was running.
I'm on Nova Launcher but think it happened on stock launcher too.
